Description: This pair of vintage Head 360 skis is a true history changer. Also has a pair of early marker bindings If you are unfamiliar of this ski or its importance to skiing history I suggest you research them a bit, The head standard was the first successful non wood ski to hit the slope and Howard head's trials and tribulation to make it happen is a story in itself. The following is a small bit from the Wikipedia article about the head standard and later head 360 - i suggest you go to Wikipedia and read the full article. The Head Standard was Howard head's first successful ski design, and arguably the first modern downhill ski. The Standard used composite construction, with a plywood core sandwiched between aluminum outer skins, steel edges tapering into the core, and a hard plastic base, sidewalls and top sheet. The only major changes in ski materials since the Standard are the use of fiberglass structural layers in place (or in addition to) of the aluminum layers, and substitution of expanded plastic foam for the wooden core. Made in the USA, these skis have a length of 190 cm and come with early Marker bindings. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of skiing history. As pictured as-is
